Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

For those of who are regular readers, you must have realized by now that I have a love affair with sweets and most if not all of Paula Deens recipes. Well, she has done it again with this cupcake recipe for the Fourth of July picnics…Enjoy!

I will tell you though I cheated a little by adding more cocoa powder…1 teaspoon just didn’t seem enough!

Ingredients:

2   large eggs, room temperature
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoon red food coloring
1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions

Cupcakes and Easter Baskets

I was just sitting here thinking of cupcakes.  I personally love the little cakes.  I fool myself into thinking if I eat two or three it is less than a slice of a layer cake.  It is all in the mind, I know.

But I was thinking why not make cupcakes, but decorate them like Easter Baskets?  Make your cupcakes any flavor you want, ice them and then let your kids help decorate.

Use licorice whips for handles, jelly beans or gummy bears for decorations, even colored coconut for grass.  Let your imagination flow and then eat two or three…it’s all good!
